Build a Real Web App and Put It Online
Your teenager builds a working web app from scratch and puts it on a real web address. The app is for housing agencies: an agent signs in, adds listings with photos, and the public can search and filter them and send an enquiry. Each agency gets its own branded page. In 13 live online sessions they learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript (including functions and loops) and then use Firebase, so there is no server to set up. It is practical and close to real work, and it prepares them for our data structures course. No coding experience needed. Needs a laptop or desktop computer and a steady internet connection.
